=Using at least three concepts from the supplement on Web Comics from McCloud, explain how the comic you choose makes use of the technique.=

"[|Clumsy Love]" is the webcomic I chose to analyze to explain how it use at three concepts from the supplement on Web Comics by McCloud. The following are the three concepts the comic I chose applies: black linework, screen-as-window approach and the well-designed gag-strip. The comic I chose has a comic strip format.The characters in the comic strip are outlined in black which shows that this comic strip applies black linework. The panels in the comic strip do not have spaces or gutters in between them which shows that the story not the panels' sizes and shapes suggest changes in the reading direction. This comic strip is considered an example of a well-designed gag-strip because it provides a great reading experience in an environment the is filled with distractions. Basically, this comic strip keeps the distractions of the web environment while trying to entertain the reader in order to keep the readers' attention unlike the long-narrative comics that try to strip away distractions in order to keep the readers' attention.
